iPhones have always adopted a 28mm equivalent focal length (give or take a few mm for some iPhones). For the better part 28mm has become the norm. In 2016, Apple introduced a 52mm equivalent lens to the iPhone 7 Plus. The additional lens allowed for a depth map to be created which in turn enabled Portrait Mode, digital depth of field to make it look like it was taken by a DSLR.

Chic. Not Geek.

The original 1998 iMac broke the cycle of “beige boxes” that was the norm of the 90s.

The 2021 iMacs have broken the cycle of “cold aluminium boxes” that have become the norm for personal computers over the last decade.

The original iPhone unveiled in 2007 was described as a phone, iPod and an internet communicator. Steve Jobs didn’t focus on the camera at all when the original iPhone was introduced. The camera seemed more like an afterthought. No autofocus, no video and only 2MP photos of questionable quality. Fast forward to 2021, the iPhone is ubiquitous with photography for most people, having replaced their point and shoot cameras.

Hello

April 22, 2021 in apple, photography

As far back as I can remember, I have always been passionate about technology and photography. My love for technology began when I first used an Apple Macintosh II in primary school. I was introduced to photography when I got my hands on my mother’s Nikon TW20.

All these decades later, I still love all things Apple and photography. Both have had a very major impacts to my life.

I created this space to share my thoughts. Hope you enjoy you stay.
